The State of the Union and an Undisclosed Location

 

The truth is at an undisclosed location

That firm guardian of the Republic

Surrounded by functionaries and bodyguards

Blue-glowing screens set forth on polished oak

 

The truth is at an undisclosed location

And so am I, an old man musing his dreams

Surrounded by Yevtushenko and Shakespeare

Lord Byron, Shelley, Keats - Miss Marple too

 

The truth is at an undisclosed location

But we can discover it if we try
